To be fair, Woz's account seems to be limited to the case where someone uses the cruise control above 80 MPH, far from what the control loop was optimized for. I didn't see anything in what he wrote that could possibly have any bearing on the cases being examined.

Brain-dead cruise control behavior is nothing new. My '92 Porsche 968 would cheerfully redline the engine if you disengaged the clutch with cruise active.
